'08 Front Inner Fender Liner Push Pins?

[EddieC]

In our changing '08 Tahoe coolant I partially unfastened and deflected the front inner fender liner and found two different push pin types that hold the liner. Unfortunately they did not all survive the removal.

Anyone know a source and part numbers for the push pins? The parts diagrams that I've found are not very descriptive and not helpful.

Go to www.clipsandfasteners.com and look for GM push type clips. There’s a couple that are common. You can buy a whole bag for less than the price of a couple of the OEM ones.

Here’s the OEM that Rocket Man mentioned...

I got a set of cheap ones on Amazon, but each time I go and remove them they break. I’ll probably try the site Rocket Man suggested once all of mine break.

They seem to come in different sizes so it might be touch.

Here’s the only ones I’ve needed on my 02 Denali and 08 Silverado. There might be one or two of the other type that just pushes in and doesn’t have a pin but I got those at the parts store I think. These work for the wheel well liners and the core support cover under the hood. I have never broke one but if they get a little bunged up from r&r then I replace them. I like them to look new.

Thanks.
That looks like one of them. The other looks like a headed single barbed spike with no slider. I have no idea shy there were different ones used.

Go to a local parts store and hit the help! section..... they have every push type fastener there. Christmas tree and rivet type...

Ah yes. Christmas tree type, that’s what I was trying to think of. Yeah, those I got at the help! section.

Help Section? Never saw such a thing here.
Having briefly looked on line there seem to be a myriad of diameters and lengths for both types. That is the hurdle.
